Virginia 2025


VIRGINIA STATE GENERAL ELECTION: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5TH, 2025

Virginia is one of only two states which holds their major statewide election in odd years. The other is New Jersey, which is reliably blue. Virginia had their primary in June and is now in their general election campaign.

Given that Virginia is a purple state, its odd year elections usually correlate with the following year’s national midterm results and are a major national focus for both parties.

FURTHER BACKGROUND

  • Virginia is the third largest employer of federal employees in the country and has been severely impacted by the Trump Administration’s dismantling of the federal workforce, a major campaign issue.

  • Currently Virginia’s Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Attorney Genera are all Republican and are seen as very vulnerable. Kamala Harris won Virginia by 5 points. Control of Virginia’s executive branch would strengthen the state coalitions working to fight the Trump Administration.

  • Former Democratic House Representative Abigail Spanberger is the Democratic candidate for Governor.

  • State Senator Ghazala Hashmi is the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor.

  • Former State House of Delegates member Jerrauld Jones is the Democratic candidate for Attorney General.

  • Both chambers of the state legislature have two seat Democratic majorities. All state Assembly seats are up for election. There are no state Senate races this cycle.
